Fan taking selfie causes Tour de France crash
A fan causes a crash on stage 15 as Wout Poels claims his first Tour de France stage win and Jonas Vingegaard maintains his overall lead.
A spectator taking a selfie caused a crash of about 20 riders on stage 15 of the Tour de France.
The stage was won by Dutchman Wout Poels as defending champion Jonas Vingegaard maintained his 10-second lead on Tadej Pogacar.
Sepp Kuss, Vingegaard's Team Jumbo-Visma team-mate, had his handlebars knocked by a fan holding out a phone.
Kuss went down with team-mate Nathan van Hooydonck and brought down a large group in the peloton.
"There was a narrowing in the town and a spectator in the road, and I guess he just clipped my handlebars," said Kuss.
"Luckily I'm OK and hopefully the other guys in the crash are all right. It's not ideal.
"I think it's fatigue. It's been such a hard race and everybody is a bit tired. You lose a bit of alertness and there's always things out of your control as well."
